Well, you can climb Mt. Fuji, and there is Kawaguchi-ko...the scenery is beautiful.A:I want to take a picture of Mt. Fuji. When should I go to Mt. Fuji?
It is good to go to Mt. Fuji in autumn, because air is clear and at the top of Mt. Fuji there is snow even in autumn. I recommend autumn if you'd like to take a picture. A,B:OK. (うなづく)A:I heard that Mt. Fuji is a volcano. Is it safe to go there?
Yes, Mt. Fuji is a volcano and It erupted about 300 years ago. Some people worry about eruption, but it does not...not active...it is still a dormant volcano.B:dormant?
Yes. （休火山と言ったものの、水面下で活動中かも？と思いましたがそのまま次の話題へ）A:I heard Mr. Fuji erupted 300 years ago, how people lived then?
(この通りの英語ではなかったのですが、噴火当時の人々の暮らしを聞かれたと思います）
The eruption occurred during Edo period. At that time, Shogun administered the government. The government took an isolation policy and Japanese cultures such as Kabuki, rakugo, and so on were developed.
A: OK. Could you tell me about hot springs? I heard that Japanese people love hot springs. How often do they go to hot springs? Well, it depends on the person, but usually women love to go to hot springs. I go there with my mother and sometimes with my friends. Twice or three times a year. A,B:Thank you very much.
終始和やかなまま進められました。日々いろんなことに興味を持ってどんな内容に対しても言葉が出て来るようにすることが大切だと思いました。実際にはつまった部分もあり、もう少し練習すれば良かったと思います。
